Newly-wed, Andy and Emma threw caution and condoms to the wind, ready to welcome their magic baby. You know, the one who rocks up the first time you have unprotected sex, carried by the optimism stork? They were excited and waited patiently.Then impatiently.Then somewhat forlornly.They tried pillows and pee sticks, doctors and dowsing, before finally arriving in the Land of Adoption. After years as a couple, Andy and Emma found themselves with two toddlers practically overnight. And they had to pedal faster than Bradley Wiggins to catch up.And Then There Were Four is an unforgettable, unputdownable roller coaster through the hilarious highs and pass-the-gin-now-the-tissues lows of infertility, adoption, and parenting. "One of the most beautiful love stories I've ever read. Emma dumps you right into her emotional experience, yet writes with such lightness as to keep your spirits up. This book is like your favourite pastime; time flies by because you're so engrossed in the story. Delightful. Heart-filled." Pam Burrows"The bittersweet ambiance of this book grabs you very, very quickly: it's hard not to get caught up in the moment, in the flow, in the too-painful-to-bear beauty of it. It's written from the heart, raw and chatty . . . and what a heart " Simon Raybould"This book will strike a chord with any parent. It's utterly compelling, witty and beautiful, achingly sad, and packed full of love." Sarah Fox"That's not how I remember it." Andy Sutton (Husband)Described as "an essential read" for adopters and their friends and family, it has been praised (see Amazon.co.uk reviews) for being "down to earth" and telling the truth, in a book that will have you laughing one minute and crying the next.If you are thinking of adopting, have already adopted or are friends of someone who is going through the process, then this book will let you behind the curtain of the secret world of adoption in the UK.Find out what really happens so you can prepare for the rollercoaster experience of your life.… (more)
